Our current focus for this area is getting all of the beginning letter sounds down pat. You have probably noticed that we have taken the 'better late than early approach' here, so we are working on mastery with the letters, not just exposure.

I did not want this to be a plain and downright boring exercise, cause let's face it, if you don't know your letter sounds there are lots of them to learn!!! So I have been working on putting together silly letter chants (which K absolutely loves) we enjoy practising these in the car and together we are putting together an alphabet rhyme book, along with some more of the traditional letter activities.

We are following along with the Explode The Code Primers, hence the order that the letters have been introduced. Letters covered this month, F, B, M, K, T and half way through R (both kids were quite sick in the last week of the month so not much was doing here during that time).

K spotted this Same or Different Activity book awhile back at the grocery store and wanted it to do, it was far too easy for her so she breezed through it this past month.

Mathematics

She wrapped up Singapore Earlybird Mathematics 2A, it finishes with introducing the concept of Addition. We've been doing this for awhile now anyway, with lollies and things so she has breezed through this.

Book 2B continues with the Addition concept applying it in various ways.
